   Notes
   Kibo Energy PLC is a multi-asset, Africa focused, energy company positioned to address the acute
   power deficit, which is one of the primary impediments to economic development in Sub-Saharan
   Africa. To this end, it is the Company’s objective to become a leading independent power producer in
   the region.


   Kibo is simultaneously developing three similar coal-fuelled power projects: the Mbeya Coal to Power
   Project (‘MCPP’) in Tanzania; the Mabesekwa Coal Independent Power Project (‘MCIPP’) in Botswana;
   and the Benga Independent Power Project (‘BIPP’) in Mozambique. By developing these projects in
   parallel, the Company intends to leverage considerable economies of scale and timing in respect of
strategic partnerships, procurement, equipment, human capital, execution capability / capacity and
project finance.


Additionally, the Company has a 60% interest in MAST Energy Developments Limited (‘MED’), a
private UK registered company targeting the development and operation of flexible power plants to
service the UK Reserve Power generation market.
